The moment the stone door opened, a stream of air was squeezed into the inner chamber from the corridor, and the already swaying torch was suppressed in an instant, the flames were suppressed, and merged into the darkness.
"No one is allowed to move." Faced with this sudden change, King Yama did not panic. He relied on his memory to rush to the door first. His majestic body just blocked an area of the door, like a stone sculpture. of guards.
"Zhou Han...can you go out and take a look?" At this moment, King Yama was finally willing to let his confidant leave - in fact, there was a sense of helplessness in it.
But in fact, the direction of King Yama's attention was not Zhou Han - relying on the last bit of vision, King Yama captured Feng Lu's position. At this moment, Feng Lu was standing in front of King Yama's chair, walking farther away than when the lights were turned off. Two steps.
As mentioned in the previous article, although King Yama is not the kind of person who can arrange very sophisticated strategies, the cautious and suspicious part of his character can make up for the loss of control to a certain extent. At this moment, he named Zhou Han. He took action instead of Feng Lu. In fact, he still felt uneasy about this guy who had just expressed his loyalty.
Because the direction Feng Lu moved was exactly where King Qin Guang was.
Although the guy just now showed that he didn't care about Zheng Qulai's life or death, he might have been pretending. After all, if he really just wanted "an explanation," who's life to give the explanation would not be an explanation? King Yama knew very well the character and stance of people like Feng Lu, which was that he had no stance.
If he gains power today, he will surrender, but if he fails tomorrow, he will join someone else. For this kind of person, the only option is to work hard, not to work hard, so it is better to keep it under your nose—— One Feng Lu and three half-dead guys can't make any waves, but if Feng Lu escapes, there's no guarantee that he won't defect to Wei Kui's side, and stab himself in the back in the end. It's better to stay here. Monitor them and kill them on the spot if there is any abnormal movement.

"By the way, if you extinguish these torches, the situation will be even more unfavorable for us, right?" Rui Wuxun and He Nan were running through the maze at a not slow speed, and every time they passed a glimmer of light, they would Kill it ruthlessly.
"No, no, no..." He Nan's physical fitness is not bad now. Although it can't be said that running is as easy as walking, at any rate, after running for so long, he still doesn't speak out of breath: "Until just now, I made Before making this decision, I realized that the torch here is not for 'people' at all, but for 'them'."
After meeting up with Rui Wuxun, He Nan changed his mind and did not continue to search for traces of Wei Kui along the original road. Instead, he began a premeditated "walking", that is, ignoring any signs and the direction of the fork in the road. He asked for directions by throwing stones, but in fact he was deliberately avoiding the place where Wei Kui had walked.
It is impossible for a human being with normal intelligence not to find that he will return to a certain point according to the established route. As a person who wants to "break the situation" and leave this "ghost wall", Lao Wei naturally also Instead of just trying your luck in going around in circles, you must change your route - that is, take a road you haven't traveled before.
Based on this judgment, He Nan also made a decision that was quite gambling - that is, he would not follow the path that Old Wei had taken, so that the probability of their reunion would be higher.
Some people may not understand this approach and put forward the opposite inference, but that is not the case - if this road is a single-path loop, then He Nan and Lao Wei will meet sooner or later as long as they do not move at a constant speed.
But the actual situation is that He Nan filled in the missing parts based on the path he has already taken, the patterns in Luban's Tiangong Map, and his own mental composition. This underground palace should have a total of four " "Rings" are layered together, and the way to change one's route is to go astray. And He Nan was not sure whether Old Wei was traveling in the ring in the order of "southeast, northwest" or "northeast, southwest", so the optimal solution at this time was "both sides go to the new route at the same time". In order for Old Wei to also Realizing this, He Nan also used the same technique to mark the places along the way. The things they had chatted with finally came in handy. As long as Old Wei discovered this, he would definitely realize that He Nan was there. Do something.
Of course, waiting at a fork in the road may also be a way. After all, in the end, there may or even will be an extreme situation where "all three forks have been marked." At that time, you can only rely on luck to do the simplest thing. It was a gamble, but firstly, it was not He Nan's style to wait in place, and secondly, they also had some last resort difficulties.
Behind He Nan and the two of them, there was a group of "monsters" who were also constantly hunting. As for the number... when He Nan and Rui Wuxun stopped for the last time to count them, there were already more than twenty.
In fact, the number they encountered at the beginning was not that large. Rui Wuxun, who had recovered a lot of physical strength, and He Nan, who had a magical weapon, were able to deal with three or five monsters. But unfortunately, the area they were in was It's not all "empty cages" like what Lao Wei first walked, but a large gathering place. As the monsters' long howls gradually awakened more of their kind, the two had no choice but to leave.
While running away, He Nan also discovered some characteristics of monsters that had not been noticed before - just like normal people, even if they turned into this non-human and ghostly appearance for some unknown reason, they were mainly still Relying on vision and hearing to perceive the outside world. The sense of smell and hearing are sharper than ordinary people but not as sharp as animals. The vision is worse than that of ordinary people. In a completely dark environment, masters like Rui Wuxun can use the movement of Qi To judge the number of people and their approximate location, the monsters had to slow down, which was also evidence of poor eyesight.
In addition, He Nan also noticed that the torches, braziers and other lighting objects on the outermost layer of the four-layered ring had long been extinguished and no one had lit them. There were basically no traces of monsters living there, but the inner ones were made of relatively high-quality materials. And extremely flammable wood and charcoal are used as fuel for lighting, and most of the gathering places of monsters are not far from the light source, which is enough for He Nan to understand that these guys with abnormalities are more dependent on light than ordinary people, so he This decision was made to injure oneself by eight hundred and injure the enemy by one thousand.
We can only find other ways to make up for the objective disadvantage in terms of numbers. The elite combat effectiveness on our side will be less affected at least, so the two of them, He Nan, extinguished the lights along the way and deliberately kept a distance from each other. Make noises that can attract the attention of monsters and lure them to follow you.
The end point of He Nan's journey was the bottomless pit he saw when he came down. Whether it was "trapped" or "killed", in short, if he wanted these troublesome guys to stop causing trouble to him, then You still have to trouble them.
At the same time, He Nan also has some interest in these strange existences - it is not difficult to see that these guys are raised here by King Yama. Although they are human beings, their actual functions are more similar to hunting dogs, but how did these people become Looking like this now? Was he kidnapped here since he was a child and trained like a beast, or was he captured by bandits and forced to train here? And where did that almost painless steel frame come from? What is the purpose of King Yama raising them here?
Perhaps out of intuition, or because of occupational diseases, He Nan felt extremely uneasy about the existence of these monsters - he had investigated the background of King Yama and found that before becoming a bandit, Fei Anguo was a young man who was very popular in the countryside. Some famous stone carvers were particularly good at carving stone animals and other objects for houses. However, because a local tycoon ignored his wages, he killed him in a rage. Later, he learned martial arts from unknown sources. But judging from these clues, it is completely impossible to detect that he has such a hobby as raising pets. Furthermore, these killing tools are completely different from the flying eagles and dog fights that the powerful usually raise for fun.
"Is it possible that this matter is also related to them?" It's not that He Nan has never thought about this issue, but later he rejected the idea. If "they" want to cultivate warriors with strong combat effectiveness, it seems that there is no need to use such a method that is not worth the gain. means. But no matter what, this matter has made a note in He Nan's mind, and he must investigate it carefully when he has the opportunity.
Hearing the sound of ghostly cries and howls coming from behind them again, the two of them couldn't help but speed up their pace. Just when they passed a fork, He Nan actually bumped into someone and staggered forward. On to the ground.
"You..." This guy who was walking in the dark at night seemed to have encountered a monster before. When he bumped into something, his first reaction was to jump back and put on a vigilant posture, ready to meet the enemy at any time. .
The two people here also didn't know what was going on. When Rui Wuxun saw He Nan running ahead, he suddenly fell to his knees and swung a heavy punch at the guy in the shadow without any explanation.
Some people died, but not completely...
